School Board Partners is a growing cohort of inspired, diverse leaders from around the country committed to driving policy that helps kids on a broad scale. Founded by current school board members Carrie Douglass and Ethan Ashley, School Board Partners connects emerging, inspired elected community leaders serving on local school boards with the training, support and mentorship needed to successfully push for high quality school systems. Together with a cohort of elected leaders, and a team of mentors, Douglass and Ashley are building a collaborative connected organization that bucks the top-down policy approach, instead focusing on what is needed to empower leaders to implement good policy that changes outcomes.
